Product Information
A spectacular samurai saga that opens upon the Baekje Dynasty in Korea, where the kingdom is in its final throes as warriors commit ritual suicide and the ministers consume poison, all in the knowledge that their rule is coming to an end. 450 years later, a small group of warriors is determined to restore the kingdom to its former glory, and journeys to Japan to visit a Baekje settlement there. Along the way they encounter a band of Japanese fighters that leaves all but two of the travellers dead; one of the survivors is Ko Woo-do, who sets off with his companion to visit Kanemura, a sword maker with the power to craft the Heaven's Sword, which will unite Woo-do's people. There, Woo-do falls in love with the Japanese courtesan to whom the local warlord is engaged, setting off a feud that will continue throughout the next fifteen years, until Woo-do returns to try and reclaim his honor and save his people. With stunning choreography by frequent Akira Kurasawa collaborator Eizi Takakura, a beautiful score and faultless acting, this is a tour de force that wields amazing impact.Product Identifiers
